Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Amnion will be obtained after informed consent from enrolled healthy expecting mothers undergoing C-section, with no co-morbidities or infections, testing negative for HBV, HCV and HIV. Meconium-contaminated placenta would be discarded. Amnion will be separated from placenta by washing with large volumes of normal saline. Membranes would then be transferred to another container containing 70% glycerol and refrigerated at 4 degree Centigrade.
For Group A, Amnion will be retrieved from the fridge, dipped in normal saline for 10 min to remove glycerol and single layer of amnion will be applied to the cleaned and dried facial burns by the primary investigator, ensuring no air bubbles between it and the bed. Topical antibiotic ointment (Polyfax Ointment - Glaxosmithkline) will be applied three times a day up-to 2 at least 2 weeks up-to 1 month. No secondary dressing will be applied. The amnion will remain there till the burn wound epithelization at least 2 weeks and up to 1 month.

Comparator / control treatment
In Group B, the Amnion will be initially preserved in glycerol, to make it acellular it will be washed with normal saline, and then will spread it on dried slides. Application of trypsin for at least 20 minutes to detach the epithelial layer, and then gentle scraping to remove the layer. it will be washed again with saline and will be preserved in glycerol at -80C.
For Group B, Amnion will be retrieved from the fridge, dipped in normal saline for 10 min to remove glycerol and single layer of amnion will be applied to the cleaned and dried facial burns by the primary investigator, ensuring no air bubbles between it and the bed. Topical antibiotic ointment (Polyfax Ointment - Glaxosmithkline) will be applied three times a day up-to 2 at least 2 weeks up-to 1 month. No secondary dressing will be applied. The amnion will remain there till the burn wound epithelization at least 2 weeks and up to 1 month.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 320424 0
Wound healing by complete epithelization assessed clinically by seeing the complete resurfacing of skin by epithelium
Timepoint [1] 320424 0
Patients will be assessed on post-operative day 1, 5, and 10. Finally, the post-operative day on which the dressing spontaneously leaves the donor site, revealing a healed wound, will be noted up to 1 month
Secondary outcome [1] 371555 0
Pain will be measured clinically with visual analog scale for pain from 0-10, where 0 will be no pain and 10 will be worst pain
Timepoint [1] 371555 0
It will be assessed at 24 and 48 hours post operative
Secondary outcome [2] 371556 0
Hypersensitivity, will be assessed clinically by history of itching and presence of redness and swelling on examination
Timepoint [2] 371556 0
Will be assessed at 24 and 48 hours post operative
Secondary outcome [3] 371557 0
Infection will be assessed clinically by history of pain and presence of redness, swelling, raised temperature of surrounding skin on examination
Timepoint [3] 371557 0
will be assessed at one and two week post operative
Secondary outcome [4] 371558 0
Need of skin grafting for non healing burns, will be marked as yes or no. By checking the medical records of skin graft procedure and examining the wound of the patient by consultant plastic surgeon
Timepoint [4] 371558 0
will be assessed at one month post operative

Summary
Brief summary
patients with second degree facial burns will be treated, and will be divided into two groups. Cellular amnion will be applied on the face after wound wash in group A and Acellular amnion in group B. Both groups will be compared for wound healing time, hypersensitivity reaction, pain, infection and need for skin grafting. the results will be compared in both the groups.
